Antonio Filosa began his tenure as CEO of Stellantis on June 23 and announced a new leadership team to surround him that same day, according to a press release.

The new appointments, effective immediately, come on the heels of several months of leadership shakeups at the global automaker. Filosa was selected as CEO in May, succeeding Carlos Tavares, who resigned in December amid declining sales and profits.

“The team I’m announcing today draws on all that is best in Stellantis, leaders from within who bring a people-first mindset, a profound understanding of our brands, our products and our customers, best-in-class expertise and an entrepreneurial spirit that will be vital to our success,” Filosa said in a statement.

Filosa will be surrounded by 12 executives who make up the Stellantis Leadership Team, and four others who report directly to him. All either remain in their existing positions or are internal promotions. The release said the makeup of the leadership team “emphasizes the choice of locating product decision-making close to the regions where Stellantis’ cumulative knowledge is second to none.”

In addition to the CEO role, 25-year company veteran Filosa will continue to lead Stellantis North America, which he was promoted to in October by Tavares. Much of the automaker’s struggles are concentrated in the North American market, where Stellantis is wrestling with the impact of U.S. tariffs, competition from China as well as the transition to electric vehicles.

In Q1 2025, Stellantis reported a 14% decline in revenues year-over-year, and also suspended its 2025 financial guidance, citing uncertainties surrounding tariffs.

Most members of the newly announced executive team maintain their current roles, though some will absorb additional responsibilities. For example:

• Doug Ostermann, announced as CFO in October, continues in this role and will additionally take over mergers, acquisitions and joint ventures.
• Jean-Philippe Imparato will remain head of enlarged Europe and European brands, though Maserati is newly joining this group of brands.
• Philippe de Rovira continues to lead the automaker’s financial services branch, but he is also taking responsibility for Rest of World, the Stellantis region which includes markets in the Middle East, Africa and Asia.

Meanwhile, Ned Curic (head of product development and technology), Arnaud Deboeuf (head of manufacturing) and Xavier Chéreau (head of human resources and sustainability) retain their current roles and their positions on the leadership team.

Any new members of the executive team are internal promotions. These new appointments include: 

• Emanuele Cappellano, head of the South America region, who will now also lead Stellantis Pro One, the company’s commercial vehicle unit
• Davide Mele, who will head product planning
• Sébastien Jacquet, recently appointed head of quality
• Monica Genovese, who was appointed head of purchasing
• Scott Thiele, who takes on a new role as head of supply chain
• Clara Ingen-Housz, who is newly joining the executive team in her current role of head of corporate affairs and communications

According to the release, Maxime Picat, previously chief purchasing and supplier quality officer, departed Stellantis, as did Béatrice Foucher, who was chief planning officer.
